And remember, during those all too brief respites from Charlie vocalizing, try to fit in praise...When Piper stops with the 'demand' barking, I'll stop what I'm doing and tell she's a good, good girl to be quiet. Once-in-a-great-while, when she's quieted, I'll surprise her with a little treat. Insofar as using a collar to control barking, I'd check with Wylie's Mom, as she is a wonderfully loving, compassionate, and wise woman who truly knows her stuff (and in past posts has recommended a certain collar). You can always PM Wylie's Mom... |
